Stack-based buffer overflow in the bgp_route_refresh_receive function in bgp_packet.c in bgpd in Quagga before 0.99.17 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) record in a BGP ROUTE-REFRESH (RR) message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Quagga's BGP daemon. A trusted remote BGP participant could send a malformed route-refresh message that crashes bgpd, and the sources say arbitrary code execution may be possible. The business risk is interruption or compromise of routing infrastructure where old Quagga bgpd versions remain deployed. Exposure is likely limited to systems running Quagga bgpd before 0.99.17 that accept authenticated BGP sessions. Internet-facing or partner-facing BGP routers, route reflectors, and legacy Linux routing appliances deserve priority review. Treat as high priority for any environment still using legacy Quagga for production routing. The issue can affect routing availability and may enable code execution, but available evidence does not show active exploitation and requires authenticated BGP access. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Quagga bgpd to a vendor-fixed package, 0.99.17 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant distribution advisories from Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Gentoo, or Mandriva.; Restrict BGP session establishment to known, authorized peers only..
